Tweaking stuff and large baps.

So the spinach thing didn't happen. I fancied a roast and that's what I did. The spinach is still here and it will be cooked -  just not on Sunday or Monday or yesterday.  I have grand plans for it and these things take time.

 

I have been eating lots and lots this last couple of days. My appetite is monstrous and I have been indulging. Everything I ate yesterday and on Monday  was totally delicious and was all almost 100% slimming world friendly. The Sunday morning bacon toastie for breakfast was sublime, the leftover raw fry was ansum and the roast chicken , sprouts, peas , carrots, stuffing with red cabbage and gravy was out of this world.

 

You may have guessed that I have a hearty appetite and I think that is why Slimming World has worked for me. I know that little pickers wear bigger knickers, and although my undies were a fair size, I have never really picked - I like a good sized meal in front of me and that's what I have.

 

And now I am at target I am following the principles of Slimming World but sneaking the odd extra bit in. I reckon my meals are about 80 - 90 % on track but here are a couple of examples.

 

1. My lunch on a Monday  was a chicken and stuffing and salad crusty bap.

 

Now on SW you can have 60g of wholemeal bread as one of your healthy choices. Bugger that is what I say - it's not worth getting it out of the bread bin and I know that my bap weighed more than 60g but it would only add a few syns and I think it's worth it.

2. DO NOT BUY FRYLITE! It may be a low calorie cooking spray but it damages your roasting tins and I think makes everything taste of plastic. I fill the empty bottle up with olive oil as technically you are never going to squirt that much that it makes a difference.

3. I do odd things with sausages. I dry fry them and then throw them in the oven with a sprinkle of paxo. This makes me say mmmmm and it's all healthy - ish.

4. I have salads from the health food shop.

 

They are huge and they are delicious and there are quails eggs in them. I know there is some olive oil in it but let's weigh up a little olive oil against all the good there and you can see how it works.

 

And as it's Wednesday................my extra eating must have paid off. I did have a very dirty burger last week but got back on track the next day and I LOST A POUND. This means I am a pound under target and I have gone into a new stone and this has made me happy.

 

And because I am happy - tonight is the night for the spinach thing.
